Figure 1. The FLY phage mimics the VTVTNVFLYNRPLN peptide.

(a) Binding of FLY phage and fd-tet to immobilized CK18 and to (b) LLC-MK₂ cells. (c) Binding of FLY phage to CK18 in the presence of increasing concentrations of VTVTNVFLYNRPLN synthetic peptide (FLY, black squares) or the alanine mutagenized version VTVTNVFAYNRPLN synthetic peptide (FAY, open triangles). Results are show as percentage of binding relative to FLY phage in the absence of peptides. Shown are standard error of the mean (SEM) of two biological replicates performed in triplicate.
